Default Songs With Unusual Subject Matter

You don't encounter many pop songs about cannibalism:

Songs about UFOs aren't that unusual. However, songs making fun of people fascinated by UFOs aren't very common ("We're dying to be invaded and put the blame on something concrete"):

An entire thread could be made for various songs just from Frank Zappa on this topic but this was the first one I thought of...




Frank Zappa - The Illinois Enema Bandit


And it's based on an actual person and his perverted criminal desires...

Btw the Stranglers' best album falls somewhere between songs about UFOs and songs making fun of people fascinated by UFOs

This song is about an imaginary friend. A lot of Diamond's earlier stuff was interesting. A lot of his later stuff was garbage.
